[Irtalk] Why open access should be a key issue for university leaders | editEon Blog

[Hilton Gibson]

For the future of research, though, the need for openness is far more than
a convenience. It arises because the volume and rate of production of
online publications and digital data sets has now outgrown the limits of
conventional research methods and is changing the ways in which new
knowledge is created.* Without openness across global digital networks, it
is doubtful that large and complex problems in areas such as economics,
climate change and health can be solved.*
